Netflix in India? These are the shows to watch

Inviting a girl over to “Netflix & Chill” finally gets an air of legitimacy

Netflix finally makes its way into India bringing, with it a whole host of shows for you to be emotionally dependent on. Finally, you have valid and legal excuse to avoid social interaction. But if you must interact, be a part of the conversation. Here’s what you need to get in on.

Master of None

Aziz Ansari as the main act in 30-minute-long episodes loosely based on his own life. The comedy follows Dev, a struggling actor in New York. Shockingly clever and well-executed, it’s a good switch up from most of your generic sitcoms, not to mention you might recognise a friend or two in the character sketch.

Black Mirror

It’s been around since 2011, but the British dystopian drama has signed on with Netflix for another 12 episodes. Each episode features a different cast, story line and deals with a unique dark reality, based largely on modern society and the consequences of its dependence on ever-changing technology.

Sense8

Netflix has outdone itself with this original. Sense8 follows eight people around the world who suddenly find themselves linked. Essentially making eight people one, co existing in their every day lives together.

Peaky Blinders

This just might be the best show you aren’t watching. One of Netflix’s most underrated offerings, it follows a vicious street gang based out of Birmingham. At a short 2 seasons and a dozen episodes, it makes for a quick binge watch.

Narcos

If you’re as absorbed by the Narcos-sphere as the rest of the world, we doubt illegal downloading stopped you from watching it the first time around. But like Pablo trying to clean up his act by running for presidency, maybe stream the next season on Netflix?

The Get Down

With music shaping pop culture the way it has and every genre getting a TV show around it, it seems only fair that it’s time for punk and disco to shine. Who better than Baz Luhrmann to channel the 70’s based groove. Good things ahead.
